 Nathaniel snarled, the hunter pushing his buttons. He was getting tired of his stubborn attitude. He gritted his teeth trying to hold his tongue and let the boy speak. In just the blink of an eye he was inches from Keenan's face, his hand on the hunter's chin and forcing him to look at him. "Stop acting like a stubborn hard headed child and use your head." he growled "I thought hunter's were smart but apperently that gene skipped you. Have i asked you of anything? Or forced anything on you? Or even tried to feed from you?" he asked, trying to get through to the male hunter. His light blue eyes held a pleading gaze, begging the hunter to see him for him but he growled and pushed the hunter's face away. He took a step back and looked away from Keenan, knowing he had been to rough but not caring at the moment. His temper was getting the best of him.

"Fine you want to know about me. Want to know why I despise your kind so much"he spat out putting every hint of loathing he could in his voice. "Then sit down, shut up, and let me tell you a story, a story that happened a long long time ago. he glared at the Nathaniel before clearing his throat to begin. Once there was a girl in my family. She was tall, strong, and beautiful. She had everything going for her in life. She was my sister. Everyone always praised her, always took her word into consideration. She was the epitome of perfect if it existed. If there was one thing wrong for her was that she was too trusting. She struck an alliance the first and last of its time in our family." he paused to gather his thoughts and looked to see what the vampire was making of his story so far. Taking a deep breath he continued "There was a newly turned vampire close to our house. She was to go out and slay him. However, she felt sad when she found it to be a boy around the age of fifteen, he had been turned against his will, and was a former hunter as well. She couldn't bring herself to kill him so she worked out an agreement. He would help them, and we would not kill him and offer protection from his maker. It worked out well for a couple a years. That was until around my fifth birthday. I was just about to start my training when we were attacked. Betrayed by the one vampire we thought to trust. He had played his role well. It was also him that killed my sister. Not only did he kill her, but he raped her right in front of me and I couldn't do anything about it. She didn't fight because he threatened to kill me if she did. He almost killed me anyways if dad hadn't come around the corner when he did and drove him off. Would of killed him to if I hadn't of been there. Dad was afraid to leave me, afraid to lose both of his children. I decided that day that I would never trust one of your kind again. You say your different, yet when I push you result to force your a joke." he said coldly his eyes narrowed as if to dare him to do something to him. ╪╪╪╪╪╪╪╪╪╪╪╪╪╪╪╪╪╪╪╪╪╪╪╪╪╪╪╪╪╪╪╪╪╪╪╪╪╪╪╪╪╪╪╪╪╪╪╪╪╪╪ ...A Little Love can change a life {{OOC: I am back for night now. }}

Nathaniel slowly sat down but kept his gaze from meeting the little hunter's. The moment Keenan mentioned a sister he gripped the arms of his chair, knowing where this story was going. Images of his own sister, his human sister flashed through his memories. Nathaniel sat there silently, listening to evey word Keenan said. His hands shook as he listened to the hunter's story, his past coming back to him in waves and crashing into him. He knew that the girl's first mistake had been trusting a fledgling in the first place, not even an adult vampire would trust one. By the time Keenan had finished his story Nathaniel was on the verge of breaking down. He had spent centuries pushing memories of his past away and the hunter was pushing them to the forefront of his mind. Nathaniel slowly stood, a single tear on his cheek as he quickly looked away to hide his face. "You can not judge me like that, Keenan, i am still a vampire and my temper gets the worst of me when you push my buttons." he said, speaking just loud enough for him to hear. "I had a sister as well but you wouldn't want to know about that. It was centuries ago and you would not listen. Goodnight, Keenan. You may choise any empty room you want just do not come into mine." and with that said, Nathaniel left the room in a blur. He went to his room, slamming the door shut and pacing the floor as memories flooded his mind. ::Flashback:: Nathaniel spun the small blonde girl around as she giggled softly. Her hair was in perfect ringlets and her bright blue eyes sparkled as her brother spun her around. "Nathaniel again again" she squealed, giggling happily but pouting as Nathaniel set her on the beautiful tile floor. "You will get dizzy, Gabbriella, lets take a break. I am sure mother is looking for you. Go on and find her, little sister." he said, chuckling as he watched her trot away, her frilly dress bouncing with each step.... The scene changed and the once tiny Gabriella was older in her teens. Nathaniel screamed and yanked at the men holding him back as they tied his little sister to a stake. "NO! No Gabriella No!" he screamed as his creator walked to him "This human girl is the only thing tieing you to the human world. Without her you are all mine." he growled, laughing as his pet struggled. It was no use, even though Nataniel was now a vampire he was not as strong as the men holding him. Nathaniel screamed louder as the vampire set the wood beneath his sister on fire, crying and screaming as the fire licked at her body. "NATHANIEL!!" she screamed, taking her last breath as the fire took her life... ::End Flashback:: Nathaniel sat up bolt straight, not knowing he had fallen asleep until he woke with a scream of fear. He breathed heavily as the memories haunted him. Nathaniel could still see his sister struggling to get free of the flames. His body shook as he stood, leaving his room and pacing the halls as he tried to regain himself, his pain obvious on his face.

There was something different about him in that one moment of time. Keenan could feel it a connection of sorts. He then roughly shoved it away, it couldn't be possible...could it. No it wasn't possible. Keenan stayed in the study long after the other man had left., just staring out into space, a few small tears falling silently down his face. He did not sob, not anymore but he could not help but shed tears when he thought about it again. Keenan did not know how long he had been standing there or how much time had passed when he heard it, a stark scream of fear. His body reacted instinctively as he headed out of the room at a run towards where ever the sound was coming from. He slid around a corner and almost collided smack dab into Nathaniel before he was able to stop. "I hear someone scream and...hey are you okay" he asked when he got a good look at him. His whole demeanor spoke of someone in pain and anger and something else. Keenan's body automatically went on high alert. "Nathaniel?" he asked using his name for the first time. ╪╪╪╪╪╪╪╪╪╪╪╪╪╪╪╪╪╪╪╪╪╪╪╪╪╪╪╪╪╪╪╪╪╪╪╪╪╪╪╪╪╪╪╪╪╪╪╪╪╪╪ ...A Little Love can change a life {{OOC: }}

Nathaniel jumped when he almost ran into Keenan. He hadn't even heard him aproach which was not normal for him. The expression on his face was that of a man who had lost averyhting and had supressed it for years. He looked down at Keenan and a tear fell down his cheek as he shook his head "Do you truly care, Keenan?" he asked quietly, turning and resuming his pacing. His body was still trembling and his breath still heavy. After a long moment he stopped and sat down against the wall, sighing as he leaned his head back against the wall. He stared at the cieling in silence for a long moment. "It happened two years after i was created." he said quietly "I didnt want it, I was ripped away from my sister and the change was forced on me. I fought my creator with everything i had, fought for Gabriella.". Nathaniel shook as he spoke it was the first time he had ever told anyone and didnt even know if the hunter would listen but he continued. "He threatened her every chance he got just to get a reaction out of me until i finally cracked and tried to kill him. He beat me and then his men dragged me along as my creator got my sister and brouth her out to his mansion, setting up a stake and a pile of wood at the base. The men were too strong and i couldnt break free." He paused, his voice cracking "They... They tied her to the stake... I screamed and fought and told him to kill me, that i was the one he should burn.. But he just laughed in my face and set the wood on fire..... I was forced to watch my thirteen year old sister, the only family i had left, burn at the stake..". With the last sentance Nathaniel fell into silence, staring at the ceiling with a sigh.

When he was done with the story, Keenan was startled to find tears in his own eyes. Because here in front of him no matter how much he wanted to hate him was not just a vampire, but a man he could relate to, having seen his own sister killed. It was a bitter drought to swallow he always considered the two groups vampires and hunters to be totally different. He felt ashamed with how he had been acting as well. Hesitantly he put an arm around Nathaniel and pulled him close offering him comfort, as he sobbed for both himself and Nathaniel and the cruel events they were forced to watch. ╪╪╪╪╪╪╪╪╪╪╪╪╪╪╪╪╪╪╪╪╪╪╪╪╪╪╪╪╪╪╪╪╪╪╪╪╪╪╪╪╪╪╪╪╪╪╪╪╪╪╪ ...A Little Love can change a life {{OOC: }}

Nathaniel closed his eyes, holding onto the last bit of control he had. When he felt Keena put his arm around him he relaxed alittle. He opened his eyes and looked down at Ashton, more sorrow crossing his face when he saw the hunter's tears. Nathaniel couldn't help himself, he wrapped his arms around Keenan and brought him close. He held Keenan close, holding back tears "I'm so very sorry, Keenan. It will be alright." he whispered, his voice shaking as he tried to comfort the little hunter. He cried, only a couple of tears falling down his cheeks and dripping onto Keenan's head. "You.. You are probably tired." he said quietly, lifting Keenan as he stood and carrieing him to the nearest room. He opened the door the door and took the hunter to the bed, setting him down. Tears still dripped down his cheeks as he spoke "I.. I'll bring you your weapons tomorrow and unlock the door." he said, running his fingers through his hair and letting it come untied. "I'm sorry." he said, his voice cracking as he started for the door. {{Hehe I love touching moments like these =) its my specialty. Touching moments and im a hopeless romantic -blush-}}

When his mind caught on to the meaning of Nathaniel's words. "Wait" he requested, getting up and putting a gentle hand on his arm to hold him for a minute. He sighed a bit and glanced down, "I am sorry...I am sorry for your loss a loss no one should have to go through like you did. i am sorry for the way I have been acting. You were right all along I was just being hard headed and I didn't want to see. Its just after so long of fighting I don't know how to stop, how to let the anger go. I just..."he sighed again running a hand through his hair in frustration, not able to think of how to say what needed to be said properly. "I'd be willing to stay and actually listen, and try to learn if you will let me" he said offering Nathaniel an olive branch. ╪╪╪╪╪╪╪╪╪╪╪╪╪╪╪╪╪╪╪╪╪╪╪╪╪╪╪╪╪╪╪╪╪╪╪╪╪╪╪╪╪╪╪╪╪╪╪╪╪╪╪ ...A Little Love can change a life {{OOC: You did good.

Nathaniel stopped and looked down at Keenan's hand on his arm then at the hunter, waiting patiently. "It is not your fault, little hunter. No one should have to see and go through what you did either. We both seemed to have been wronged by my kind." he said softly, listening to everything Keenan had to say. He tried to smile a little through his pain and managed a very small one. "We wil both have to work on our anger, Keenan." he said softly, touching his hand "I will teach you anything and everything you want to learn.. Maybe you can teach me a few things as well but right now we both need sleep.". "Goodnight, Keenan, may your dreams be peaceful." he whispered, leaning down alittle to place a soft quick kiss on the hunter's forehead before quietly leaving the room and going back to his own. {{lol i agree that is also fun. lolz i got that}}

Nathaniel smiled a little, hearing Keenan's good night. He walked into his room and turned his light off, climbing into bed and under the covers and burying his face into the pillow.
::Time Skip::
When night finally came Nathaniel yawned and stetched, climbing out of bed. He changed into a new pair of jeans and a button down red shirt. After tieing his hair back he grabbed some clothes for Keenan and walked to the hunter's room. He knocked lightly before opening the door, smiling when he saw the little hunter still in bed. He knew it had been a long night for the boy and he had probably gotten up several times during the day so he was not going to wake him. He laid the clothes at the base of Keenan's bed and walked out and down to the kitchen, getting out things for breakfast/dinner for the hunter. As he cooked the smell of bacon, eggs, and pancakes floated up the stairs. After setting Keenan's plate he smiled and went into his music room to play his piano. He played what used to be his sister's favorite melody letting it float through the house as he waited for Keenan to come down.

He sat up sleepily a small smile on his face. That was when he noticed a small pile of clothes as the foot of the bed. He got up stretching again before grabbing the pile of clothes. He went into the bathroom to freshen up and change before heading down. Making a pit stop in the kitchen he picked up his plate not wanting to get cold, adding a generous amount of butter and syrup to the pancakes before following the sound of music to the music room. When he walked through the door he was met by an the most wonderful sight of Nathaniel playing the piano and he blushed a little at that thought. Spying a couch and a little table on the other side of the room, he made his way quietly to it and sat down so he could eat and listen to the music. As he ate his eyes would glance periodically at Nathaniel and he would blush a little again before he looked away. He didn't know why Nathaniel's presence was effecting him so much suddenly. ╪╪╪╪╪╪╪╪╪╪╪╪╪╪╪╪╪╪╪╪╪╪╪╪╪╪╪╪╪╪╪╪╪╪╪╪╪╪╪╪╪╪╪╪╪╪╪╪╪╪╪ ...A Little Love can change a life {{OOC: }}

Nathaniel smiled softly when he heard Keenan in the kitchen. He easily went from one song to the next, connecting the last cord to the first chord of the next song as the hunter entered th room. "Good... Evening, little hunter." he greeted Keenan, a playful smile on his lips as his fingers danced elegantly across the keys. He smiled up at Keenan "I see you found your breakfast. How did you sleep, Keenan?" he asked, using the hunter's name. As he waited for an answer Nathaniel focused on his music, sighing softly as he imagined a tiny Gabriella giggling as she danced around to his music. After a moment he stopped and turned, giving Keenan his full attention. {{OOC: sorry i've been offline all day i was out with my dad}}

Nathaniel nodded "That is good." he said softly "I suppose i slept well despite the nightmares. Thank you for asking". Nathaniel watched cuirously as the hunter stood and walked over to him. "I-" he stopped, tensing as he watched Keenan brush his fingers over the piano. He very gently grabbed the hunter's hand, pulling it away from his piano and held it as hr took a deep breath. "This is the piano i taught Gabriella to play on." he said, looking up at Keenan "It means a lot to me.". After a moment he let go of the hunter's hand "Her music was so soothing it could put you to sleep and yet she could play and change the mood at the snap of her pretty little fingers. She learned so fast it was incredible" he said, shaking his head and smiling softly at Keenan. "Did your sister play well?" he asked gently, not wanting to upset him. {{Hehe i am thinking of adding a little twist. Just a little visitor.. Is that alright with you?}}
